What's new

Pleiss

face-up 4. There have been some wiffs coming from the FO that he could see spot minutes at the 5 (small ball).

Yep Lyles is closer to a 5 than he is to a 3. Just because Kentucky can get away with playing lyles at the 3 in the NCAA doesn't mean the Jazz will be able to in the NBA.
 
Exum/Burke/Cotton
Hood/Burks/Hanlan
Hayward/Ingles/Millsap
Favors/Booker/Lyles
Gobert/Pleiss


That already puts us at 14 players, damn. Maybe Motum as our 15th player, and you can call this a season.
 
After snagging Pleiss, I am 100% all for DL standing pat, and letting this cake ****ing bake.

Let's address further roster tweaks after next season. No Greens & no Carrolls pls.

I'm not. The chances of us bringing in a solid FA over the next several off-seasons are pretty low. Every team will have money. Jazz should try to snag a guy now while they can.

Who? And to address which positional need?

Agree. The ONLY move to consider would be a trade of Burke. But even that might wait until the deadline. Unless Utah is getting a veteran PG in return, DL needs to make sure Hanlan and Cotton can adequately handle the minutes behind Dante.

AS for the 15th roster spot, I could see Motum. He was a pretty good scorer in Australia last season. Also intrigued by Wes Saunders. And then there's Cooley, Johnson, Jerrett, etc. Some of our rejects are going to start finding their way onto other benches; we're getting that deep!

Carroll. Our perimeter defense is still too porous. We had a top-ranked defense (based on opponents' ppg) largely because of our pace. If we're going to become an elite defense, we need a bulldog out there.

Well, the rumor was that DL had one specific FA in mind. Everyone assumed that was Millsap. In a thread a few weeks ago, I suggested it might be Carroll instead. Given the relationship between Carroll and QS, it certainly seems reasonable.

I wouldn't be opposed to bringing Carroll in and trading Burke for a veteran PG.
We'll see what July 1st brings.
 
Over-spending on a player who is by all-means very in demand this off-season, in order to give him a smaller role & play him out of position is simply a stupid idea on multiple fronts.

Carroll simply does not make sense on this team with Hayward starting. Our defense was fine without "a bulldog" last season.
